Vex had grown up in the streets and knew how the mobsters spent them and how ruthless they could be, and although he did not prove it much but, his new partner did not dislike him, there was something in him that caught his attention and he didn't know why.

In his workouts Vex was tough and ruthless even so much that sometimes Justin could not keep up. As a police officer Justin had a physique ready for combat but not on this scale. And without a doubt, the hand-to-hand combat classes with Vex were a sight to see. Between blows, the boys got closer and closer, discovering things about each other.

Vex was not an ice floe, he had only suffered a lot throughout his life and was not comfortable talking about it, and on the other hand, Justin was not the innocent officer we all knew, secretly he was a careless pervert. His jokes and games made Vex laugh uncontrollably, to the point that the young veteran began to see his new partner in a way that he was not expected. For Vex the phrase "rubbing makes love", began to make sense.

When it came the time to prepare for the mission, Vex began to feel guilty, for not telling Justin that all his comrades were dying after the meeting. Not only had it happened with Officer Mortes, but also with the two previous ones, it was a feeling that corrupted him inside and that he should tell him after several weeks together. Vex trusted Justin, he was his best partner so far, and not only that, he dared to say that he was his best friend, so it was the first time our veteran felt fear and dread at the thought that he could definitely lose something so precious to him.

—Justin I have to tell you something —he said in a serious voice and a little shaky.

—We spoke later Vex, I'm going late for the meeting. See you later. —while Justin was getting out of the car.

—Okay, but activate the GPS this time, and as soon as you leave, call me. I'm connected to your smartwatch.

—Okay, boss.

Justin entered the building at the agreed time. A masked men took him to see their leader. In the main hall, he was surprised to see a young woman of no more than 18, presiding over the table. The young woman became extremely familiar. The girl had the same eyes as his partner and did not understand why, but he let it pass. This time without drinking anything, of course. He just set out to have a conversation with the mob leader.

—My name is Justin and I'm here to make an order.

—I'm Madcy, the head of this clan. What do you need from us?

—The police are after me for drugs trafficking, I need you to help me avoid them.

—That's easy, but what do we gain with this? —with his fiery black eyes he judged every move and word of Justin.

—I will give you half of my current merchandise, about 200 kilograms of the best quality cocaine —previously confiscated by the police —, you will earn six million euros.

—Deal.

After the meeting ended, Justin was going to the car with Vex, but forgot to call him along the way. When he was going to turn on his smartwatch he saw a shadow behind him.

One of the hit men who had accompanied him to his leader.

He pounced on Justin.

He tried to free himself from his grip but he couldn't.

The smartwatch rang. It was Vex.

He was unable to take it.
